The application for a One Stop Mini Mart at the Six Ways end of the High Street had sparked concerns due to the town’s historic problems with street drinkers and anti-social behaviour.

Football fans from the West Midlands and as far away as Spain have come to the aid of the families campaigning for justice over the Birmingham pub bombings.

More than £20,000 has been raised in the last few weeks towards the group's legal costs as it attempts to fight for bomb suspects to be named during the latest inquests.

Money has even come in from auctions, including that of a handmade guitar signed by the likes of Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood.

The Justice 4 the 21 group said it was a "disgrace" that they still have no legal aid to attend the latest hearings.

A couple from Worcester are getting used to life with their new baby boy - though surprisingly the mum only found out she was pregnant six hours before giving birth.

Nevertheless Laura Page gave birth to 8lb and 13 oz Jacob Alfred on 23 April, the same day as Prince Louis.

Laura and partner Scott say they in "complete surprise and shock".

Laura had been receiving a contraception injection and had not suffered cravings or morning sickness.

Even when she went into labour she ascribed the pain to another health problem.

Despite Kenilworth station opening today "regrettably" there are still a few technical issues regarding tickets and information, station operator West Midlands Railways said.

"Hopefully these will be resolved soon," the firm said.

Residents had originally been told the station would open in 2016.

Richard Dickson, of Friends of Kenilworth Station, said his excitement at the opening was muted as residents had waited so long.
